The spread of points totals for our bottom 3 is only a difference of five points in total (147, 144, 142), while #10 received 121 points, so there was a pretty steadfast bottom three, though they alternate positions routinely throughout submissions. "My Sharona," a rock hit by The Knack from 1979, bows out first. Only one poster put this top half, though it was a #2 rank for someguy, while three posters get a perfect rank and see their #13 leave immediately. |

Another rock hit from 1979, "Crazy Love" is next to go. It boasted a pair of top 5s, including @countryoutuber's #3 best rank. That said, it also suffered a deluge of bottom 3 ranks as with our first reveal, which kept it firmly at the bottom of the pack. Another three posters lose their #13 here.

"Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" was another rock hit, this time from a year earlier compared to the prior two (lol), as it came out in 1978. Originally a duet between Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks, Sara's rendition finds her linking up with Phillip Sweet from Little Big Town. For me, this is easily the worst track on the album is the only thing on it that is borderline unlistenable. That said, it escaped bottom 2 here thanks to it having a trio of top 5 ranks. OTOH, it clocked in with five #13 ranks, the most of any song on Copy That.

We move into the era of 1980s rock for "Don't Get Me Wrong," a song originally done by The Pretenders. This one went over noticeably better than the prior reveals as there's a sizable 20-point+ buffer between it and the bottom 3. Sara's vocals soar on this one, but it's not exactly a standout, as only three posters slotted it top 5. The majority had this near the middle of the pack, with a mass of #8 ranks.

I hate to say this but I think Sara's cover of "My Sharona" might be one of the worst covers I have ever heard in my life. It is absolutely dreadful. Thankfully the rest of the album is better but I hope I never have to listen to her sing "My Sharona" ever again.

After a string of rock hits from the 70s and 80s, we pivot to a more modern offering with Sara's take on a John Mayer pop ballad from 2009! "All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye" really fits the bill of being a non-country song that sounds like it could easily be retooled as one, which is something she's done many times throughout her career. Olivia's harmony vocals near the end are the highlight of this track for me, though it's one that I find myself losing interest in overall while it's on. An impressive five posters put it top 5 here tho! OTOH, samo🦕 finally loses his last place. |

With the cover of Carole King's "It's Too Late", we've come to our first #1 loss, courtesy of someguy. Most of the covers on the album were originally by male artists, but this is one of the few Sara tackled that was originally done by a female vocalist. 🌺CountryLineDancer loses their #13 here and it had few other low ranks, but the spread for this one was a lot wider across the board, with five additional top-half ranks joining someguy's #1. |

Definitely one of the more lively numbers on the record, "Come on Eileen" came to Sara by way of an 80s rock hit from Dexys Midnight Runners. Right on the heels of our first #1 loss, we now experience our first double #1 loss! samo🦕 and 🌺CountryLineDancer are on the receiving end this time. It has a very similar spread in overall ranks to the previous song, with a lone #13 rank (this time from Kanenrá:ke) and a handful of other low ranks, offset by a balance of just as many middling/top-half ranks. |

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is the unlucky final song to miss out on the top 5, doing so by a mere 1-point margin. Despite being a country artist, Sara Evans largely dipped outside those waters for the majority of covers on the album, though this is one of 2 OG country tunes on the record. This rendition of a classic from 1949 by Hank Williams featured Old Crow Medicine Show. It lacked a bit of passion as it bared no #1 ranks, unlike our last few reveals, but it also had a few less lower ranks as this is the first tune to receive more top-half ranks than bottom-half ranks.

"Monday Morning" edges out "Lonesome" by 1 point to secure a top 5, though top 4 was unattainable (there's a 30+ point separation to the song at #4). Sara covered "Dreams" for her Barker Family Band EP and subsequent live album project in 2019, and she dipped back into the Fleetwood Mac well a year later with this cover of "Monday Morning" from the band. Five posters placed it top 5, and only one poster had it in their bottom 3.

The album's lead single makes it to #4 here. "If I Can't Have You" is a disco bop written by the Bee Gees and was a hit for Yvonne Elliman in the late 70s, and Sara delivers a fun performance that stays true to the essence of the original. A pair of #1 ranks are lost, this time courtesy of tim and ccarter1023. All but four participants slotted this one top 5, however, this one was effectively held back by a pair of bottom 3s that included kamala 2024 truther's last place. |

The top 3 was pretty decisive, with the spread of points between them only being 10, so things were contentious and the trio of songs flipped orders regularly throughout the submission process. The album closer, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" was an 80s rock cover by way of Chicago, with an interpolated Earth, Wind, & Fire outro that brings the disco elements present in our prior reveal (the album's opening cut) full circle. 🌺CountryLineDancer and someguy lose low ranks, while everyone else had this firmly within their top half, with over half the participant pool placing this top 3 on their lists. A pair of #1s from bboat11 and castleoblivion26 are lost this time. |

And there we have it! The top 2 came down to a battle of the grandiose guitar-led 90s rock hit cover from The Wallflowers ("6th Avenue Heartache") and the delicate 60s-era piano ballad cover from Patsy Cline ("She's Got You"). Two very different offerings from this covers album, but both of them she totally nailed. "6th Avenue Heartache" wins out by a margin of less than 10 points in the end, accumulating a total of five #1 ranks, the most of any track in the rankdown. It put up an impressive firewall of top 2 ranks, broken only slightly by a trio of #8s and a lone bottom 3 rank from gardyfan. "She's Got You" notched three #1 ranks of its own, and while it had no bottom 3 ranks at all, it did not land in nearly as many top 2s, instead settling into the top 5 for most participants. |
